The key innovation of GRPO compared to the traditional PPO algorithm is that it replaces the independent value network by sampling multiple outputs for the same problem and computing relative scores within the group, thereby reducing memory usage.

UnverifiedThe core innovation of GRPO is the complete removal of the value network; it samples multiple responses to the same question to form a group, and uses the mean return within the group as the baseline.79% similarUnverifiedGRPO generates a group of candidate outputs for the same input and updates the model using intra-group relative reward signals rather than absolute reward signals, reducing reliance on an independent value network (critic).79% similarUnverifiedGRPO can be summarized as PPO minus the critic, plus an intra-group mean baseline.77% similarUnverifiedAnswer-level advantage assignment algorithms like GRPO are not omnipotent; when the quality of sentences within an answer varies greatly, evenly distributing the advantage value dilutes the signal and may even reinforce wrong behavior.76% similarUnverifiedGRPO's supervision granularity is sequence-level, with the entire response sharing a single advantage value, so it cannot indicate which step in the reasoning chain went wrong.67% similar
